Interserver provides

shared, vps and dedicated hosting powered by TaskFreak

TaskFreak is a well-established task management system that you can use through the internet so it is
there for you no matter where you are. It has been around since 2005 and is still available, though it
doesn’t really get updates very often. In addition to the main TaskFreak system, you can get a
WordPress plugin and a time tracking system. When used together, they can really help to improve
efficiency and generally help ensure everything gets done on time. This particular review, however, is
specifically for the TaskFreak task management system.

The system was written in PHP, and has lots of options built right in. It also has plenty of plugins
available to expand its functionality where needed. Overall, this is one of the simpler to use task
management tools available, and it will help many people to get more organized and efficient through
many areas of their life.

Star Rating:

TaskFreak Pros

Plugins

There are lots of plugins available with this system so it can be customized to function
just the way you want it to.

Price

It is a free program that you can use for any type of task tracking and management you
would like.

Easy to Use

The system is very easy to get up and running, and once it is active the day to day
use of this system is very simple.

TaskFreak Cons

Updates

The last real update to this system was back in 2010, so it obviously isn’t’ getting
much attention from the developers. That being said, it still works pretty well and hasn’t been
entirely abandoned.

Themes

There isn’t a theme system built in so to change the way the site looks you have to do
it manually from the admin page.

TaskFreak Review

Initial Setup

Installing this system is very easy and doesn’t take much time at all. You can use the one-click install
script that is included with all InterServer hosting packages and it will be set up and ready to go in just a
minute or two. Configuring everything the way you want it is fairly straight forward. The most time
consuming part of the entire setup process is going to be adding in any tasks that you want to keep track
of, and even that isn’t too bad at all.

Plugins

There are many great plugins available with this system, and they are very easy to install and use. They
have the plugins listed on their main page so that users can scroll through them and identify exactly
what they need. Once installed, they plugin will add in functionality or make other changes that can
make the system significantly better.

Themes

They don’t really have any themes to use with this system, but most people won’t need them anyway.
You can make adjustments to the way the platform looks by using the admin page to adjust things as
needed. It would be nice, however, if they had a full template system.

Customization

Most of the customization will come from the plugins that are available. You can change things such as
the fields that display with your tasks, but for the most part things are the way they are with this
platform. If you’re looking to really make it your own, there are likely better options to choose.

Cost of Running

This system is completely free to use. It is an open source platform so you can see the source code and
use it in just about any way you would like. It is also a fairly small application, so it can run very well on
any good hosting server. The InterServer shared hosting packages are an ideal selection for this system,
and given how affordable these packages are, it will help to keep the overall cost of running down.

Other Programs Like it

If you don’t think that TaskFreak is the right option for you, don’t worry. There are many other task
management and productivity platforms out there to choose from. Each of the following are available
with one click installation when you have a hosting account with InterServer:

Final Thoughts

This is a very well-made task management system that most people will be very happy with. It does
have some limitations, and the fact that it isn’t getting updates much anymore are a concern, but for the
casual user it might not matter too much. For a free platform, this is a great option that will really make
it easier to stay organized and get things done. It is easy to install and free to use, so give it a try and see
if it can meet your needs.
